Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

aid-update-document scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 109 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Update Document (update it now, resolve nothing)

/aid-update-document updates an existing document -- the sibling of /aid-create-document for edits rather than new authoring. Same collapse shape, same producer/verifier, same KB boundary; the difference is it locates and reads the existing document first, edits it, and shows a diff at the human gate (overwrite care is central).

  • Boundary vs the KB: never writes .aid/knowledge/; KB edits route to /aid-update-kb.
  • Not a numbered pipeline phase; does not route to /aid-execute.
  • Genre structures: .claude/aid/templates/shortcut-scaffolding/document.md.

State machine: INTAKE -> AUTHOR -> VERIFY (loop) -> PRESENT [human gate, diff] -> WRITE (on approval) -> DONE. Print the [State: NAME] -- {purpose} entry line on each state.


State: INTAKE

  1. Require a target document + a change. Empty argument -> ask one bootstrapping question ("Which document should I update, and what change?") and wait.
  2. Locate + read the existing document. If it cannot be resolved, ask (or, if the user meant a new doc, suggest /aid-create-document).
  3. Pick the path (fast if the document + change are clear; guided otherwise) and classify complexity -> aid-tech-writer model/effort (sonnet/medium default; opus/high for a large rewrite). Verifier tier >= producer.
  4. Consult the Work Initiation Gate, then allocate the work folder + STATE. First run the gate (.claude/aid/templates/work-initiation-gate.md): bash .claude/aid/scripts/works/enumerate-works.sh (main tree + every git worktree). Empty -> allocate, no prompt. Works exist -> ask new-vs-continuation; on continuation route to the chosen work's resume door and STOP (allocate nothing); on new work: create and enter the worktree per the gate's § 3a step 2 (worktree-lifecycle.sh create <work-id> <name>, STOP on a non-zero exit or empty path, else enter the resolved path), then allocate (initiator: aid-update-document; phase not driven).
  5. Read the design seed, if present. If .aid/design/document.md exists, read it as prior context before drafting; it is an input, never a substitute, and is not modified by this run.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
